"How can that be?" you might ask. Didn't California enact a massive $5 billion increase in gas taxes just a couple years ago that was sold as necessary to cover the shortfall needed to fund road repairs? Yes, they did. (archive.is).

This is why voting for tax increases is always a losing proposition, even when it's sold as a very worthwhile cause.
